    Have you ever been there? There at the everything-is-going-wrong space? That dark, lonely, “God where are you?” space? That “I don’t know if I’ll make it outta this one” space? I have been there ... and in being there, I birthed my song, “Monday.” As a singer-songwriter, nothing gets me through a dark season like writing does; and not just writing, but writing from a place of “Wow, I made it out,” even while I’m still in the thick of it. "Monday" offers a change of perspective on that wretched space. As a society, we have labeled Mondays as lackluster, grim, and simply put, the worst day of the week.

    The title, “Monday,” is analogous to how we feel not only about the day itself but about those dark spaces. Whether you’re just having a rough day, a rough week, or even a rough year, the lyrics of “Monday” are God’s gift to us all. I wrote this song, during one of the hardest seasons of my life, to remind myself that even on those dreary days, even in that hopeless pit, it's okay, because God has already been there. I took a look up from my situation and saw all of the beauty around me, despite my current state. I saw the friendly campus chipmunks, the way the sunlight lit up the snow, and the therapy dogs running so care-free. It all reminded me that God sees, he understands and he's there. Out of all the places he could be, he is there.

Monday by Evin Nazya [Official Lyrics]
Intro:

I’ve learned to shape the mess
Take the lessons from the pain
Oh, the raindrops’ prettier when the sky’s blue
Mondays are a little less mundane
When I start them with You
Just You.

Verse 1:

I watch the chipmunks chase each other in the winter
Sunshine with snow is such a perfect gift
Don’t get me started on the furry friends with sweaters on
She gave a sigh of bliss

Chorus:

Cause I don’t need to know what tomorrow holds
Once I know just Who holds tomorrows
Just stay close
Let it go
You’ll be better off
With your plans in the hands of the One who made Mondays
He even made Mondays

Verse 2:

I feel the sun rise up it’s 96 degrees out
A sweaty glow ain’t never hurt no one
Take a walk around the park
To any song let me put you on
To my secret to success

Chorus:

That I don’t need to know what tomorrow holds
Cause I know just Who holds my tomorrows
I stay close
Let it go.
Cause I’m better off 
With my plans in the hands of the One who made Mondays 
He even made Mondays

Outro:

On them Mondays when you feel low and you don’t know what’s next
When you’re stressed out
Truly let down
And you’re feeling so depressed
Just remember God made Mondays
And He knows just what’s best
You can exhale
Cause He can’t fail 
And He’ll make it your best
Monday.
